2 2 The University of Western Australia s Centre for English Language Teaching (UWA CELT) is able to organise special courses for groups of participants. CELT has extensive experience designing courses for groups of sizes varying from four to more than 180 participants for durations from three days to several months. This brochure gives a brief introduction to the types of specialised courses that UWA offers through CELT. We invite you to contact us so that we can design a course that suits your unique needs. About CELT The University of Western Australia is a vibrant university with a high reputation for the quality of its teaching and research, the beauty of its campuses and the richness of the experience it gives its students. As a part of UWA, CELT reflects the University s traditions by providing high quality English language teaching in a friendly and very supportive environment. All teachers have degrees and specialist qualifications in English language teaching. All courses combine a pedagogically rigorous approach to teaching whilst giving students many opportunities to practise using English through tasks, activities and projects that are relevant to the interest of the group. We also believe it is important to offer a wide range of services to support teaching and learning. In short, it is CELT s main goal to give its students a rich and fruitful experience and to provide a quick, effective and pleasant service CELT organises two broad categories of courses for groups of participants from high schools, university faculties and corporate, government and cultural bodies. It designs courses specially for the needs of each particular group. In this kind of course, participants tend to stay together in the one class; however, they can join in cultural exchange activities with other international students at CELT. The other type of group course offered by CELT gives participants the opportunity to take part in the Centre s mainstream courses with other international students. Specialised Courses CELT has extensive experience in the planning and delivery of intensive English language courses that are designed to meet the special needs of international institutional and corporate partners. These courses can be provided for between four days and 12 weeks and generally fall into one of three types; English + Australian Culture, English for Special Purposes and TESOL Professional Development. CELT has designed and offered English for Special Purposes courses with a focus on discipline areas such as engineering, medicine and management, amongst others. Its TESOL Professional Development courses aim to give practising teachers the opportunity to develop their knowledge of current approaches to English language teaching and learning and to explore ways to apply them to their own situations. These courses are open only to the particular participant group. However, there is the possibility of incorporating activities that focus on inter-cultural communication with Australian and/or other international students. Specialised courses can be offered throughout the academic year for any duration up to 12 weeks, can focus on topics of interest to the group and be delivered across all levels of English proficiency; however it is best that the students are of a similar language ability.

3 3 Mainstream Group Enrolments Services In addition to specialised courses, CELT offers groups of students the chance to participate in its mainstream General, Academic and Business English classes, which are taught in five-week terms, nine times a year. This option allows students to develop their English language skills with international students from a variety of countries at the same level of English proficiency. Groups taking this option can include additional excursions and cultural experiences on weekends and in non-teaching weeks. Faculty visits To complement the group s English language studies, CELT can arrange student visits to university faculties. This will give participants the opportunity to have a valuable professional and cultural experience and to put into practise the skills developed during their course. As part of specialised or mainstream courses we arrange: Return airport transfers Homestay accommodation Public transportation discounts Assistance with Australian visa processing Participation in a variety of excursions, including weekend, day or overnight trips Student cards, which identify participants as UWA students A high level of ongoing support to students during their course Fees The all-inclusive fee for a course will depend on its specific requirements. CELT has a policy of applying economies of scale wherever possible to minimise fees, which are negotiable.

4 4 Examples of Specialised Courses English + Australian Culture This type of course, which includes intensive English language tuition, focussed on topics about Australian culture, is currently CELT s most requested specialised course. Students develop their reading, writing, listening and speaking skills in the Australian cultural context and take part in excursions that reflect topics studied in class. Some areas of interest have included Australian People Today, Australian Sports and Festivals, Indigenous Australians, Australian Politics and Australian Native Fauna and Environment.
